Workshop: Make Fabric Pumpkins Using Recycled Material - October TBC
Autumn doesn't tap lightly at the door—it arrives with crisp air, shorter days, and the comforting scent of cinnamon in the kitchen.
Celebrate the season by joining us to create your own beautiful fabric and knitted pumpkins using recycled fabrics. During this relaxed and friendly workshop, you'll make at least three unique pumpkins, perfect for adding a cosy autumn touch to your home or giving as handmade gifts.
All fabrics, materials, equipment, and a selection of recycled textiles will be provided. You only need one simple skill: the ability to hand sew a basic running stitch.
Come along, get creative, and enjoy a few hours of mindful making in great company - refreshments provided!
Workshop: Reimagined Denim Feathers - November TBC
Join us for a creative and relaxing workshop where you'll transform recycled jeans into beautiful, reimagined feathers.
These unique denim feathers can be used as key fobs, brooches, decorations, or incorporated into driftwood wall hangings. All fabrics and materials are provided, although you're welcome to bring along a pair of your own old jeans to make your creation even more personal.
You'll also have the opportunity to embellish your feathers with beads and jewellery for a unique finish. Only basic hand-sewing skills are needed, making this workshop suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike.
Come and enjoy a friendly, relaxed environment, with refreshments provided throughout the session. Leave with a beautiful handmade piece and inspiration for giving old denim a new life!
